Ruben Amorim will grasp at any positive he can find, during what has so far been a tough spell at Manchester United.
The January transfer window provides an opportunity to make amends.
With United’s financial situation uncertain, major signings are unlikely to happen.
That is, unless a key player is sold.
That makes the need for smart recruitment, even more important.
The Red Devils may need to focus on free transfers, potential swap deals and bargains in order to get instill stability.
A former Chelsea player has come of interest to United and would very much provide instant improvement.

That player is Andreas Christensen, a centre-back who was a huge part of Chelsea’s Champions League winning campaign in 2021.
According to reports from Spanish outlet SPORT, United are strongly interested in signing the Dane centre-back.
Red Devils’ interest in the 28-year-old was reported on CentreDevils in late December, a target United have closely been watching.
United have reportedly contacted Barcelona about the defender but yet to make a formal offer.
Christensen joined Barcelona on a free transfer in July 2022 after leaving Chelsea and has impressed since his arrival.
The Danish international has shown his versatility, performing as a centre-back, right-back, and holding midfielder.
However, a troublesome Achilles injury has limited his involvement this season, with just 26 minutes of La Liga action.

During his absence, Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez have solidified themselves as Barcelona’s first-choice centre-backs.
Additionally, Ronald Araujo’s decision to sign a new long-term deal at Camp Nou has added competition to the defensive ranks.
These factors could make Christensen expendable, prompting interest from high-profile clubs, including United.
United are keen to bolster their central defensive options due to uncertainty over Victor Lindelof’s future.
While Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt have impressed, Lindelof’s potential exit would leave a gap to fill.
Christensen’s ability to provide cover as a holding midfielder also makes him an appealing option for the Red Devils.
Despite United’s interest, convincing Christensen to leave Barcelona may prove challenging.
The 28-year-old remains committed to the Catalan giants, even amid speculation about his future.
It remains to be seen whether United can lure Christensen back to the Premier League this winter.
